Chapter 76
“Family doesn’t knock,” Lucien said, his voice flat. “They invade.”

“You wound me, son,” Eldric said, his voice dripping with mockery. “Why don’t you open the door so we can discuss this…properly?”
I could feel my pulse in my throat, in my wrists, in the mess between my thighs.
I was shaking so hard I thought I’d collapse, as the fear of Eldric seeing me as this filled me, but Lucien? He almost smiled.
“You reek of desperation, Father. It’s pathetic, look at yourself.” He said, shocking me. I never expected anyone in their right mind to speak to Eldric like
that, ever. He was the patriarch, the king of everything in this world. His family started everything, and he was currently the head of it all, before Lucien
would take over. He was respected at school, almost to the point of being revered because everyone, from teachers to students and everyone else, knew not
to mention his name unless they were showering him with praise and accolades.
Hearing and seeing Lucien speak to him like this… it filled my heart with a deep seated fear. Lucien wasn’t normal because no one in their right mind would
talk to someone as powerful as Eldric in this manner.
The silence on the other side turned heavy and dangerous. The air in my lungs constricted as my lungs refused to work.
Finally, Eldric’s tone sharpened as he spoke in a tone that seemed restrained. “You forget whose house you’re in, boy.”
Lucien let out a low laugh at his father’s response.
It was dark and amused, and he glanced back at me over his shoulder for a moment that seemed to last forever, as I stared at him while trying to catch my
breath. The look in his eyes made my stomach flip immediately. It was possessive merciless, and unyielding; his eyes were still in that dark hue that made
my stomach clench with fear, and for some reason, I wanted to hide from it.
“That’s where you’re wrong, father,” he said softly, but his gaze was locked on mine. “You forget who I am. This house doesn’t own me. You don’t own me.
And you sure as fuck don’t touch what’s mine.”
My lips parted with shock as my breath stilled in my throat.
Mine.
He’d said it like it was a vow, like a brand he’d want to imprint in my mind, until it fucked me over.
Eldric’s reply was quieter this time, almost too quiet. “Careful, Lucien. You think you’re fire, but I made you. And I can snuff you out just as easily.”
Lucien’s grin widened, his eyes were still on mine, as the stretch of his lips sliced through my mind. “Then you’ll burn with me,”
For a beat, there was nothing. Just the sound of my pulse, as it resounded frantically in my ears.
Then, all of a sudden, I heard footsteps retreating. It was slow and deliberate, faging into the distance.
Lucien stayed there a moment longer, with his head bowed, as his hands braced against the door as though he was holding back the devil himself. When he
finally pushed off and turned back toward me, his eyes were wild, glittering like Morm tossed obsidian.
I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came from my lips. My body trembled as fear still hadn’t let up from its grip on my throat.
He stalked back to me in three strides, his long legs walking to me in all his naked glory. His cock grew hard as he stopped before me, his hand gripped my chin, forcing my gaze to his. His breath was ragged as he looked at me with what seemed like a false calm.

“You see now, sunshine?” he whispered, as his eyes burned into mine. “This isn’t game. He’ll destroy you if he ever gets the chance. But as long as you’re
with me, he doesn’t touch you. Ever.”
I blinked rapidly, as my lips parted, but all I could feel was the weight of his donnance pressing down on me.
He didn’t ask if I understood. He didn’t need to, because he lifted me in his arms and pressed my lips to his in a feral kiss.
Because in that moment, I realized one thing;
Lucien Ravenscroft wasn’t following anyone’s lead. Not even his father’s. And if stayed in his fire…I was never getting out.
